Block Drops Item According to Unlocalized Name?

[Mecblader]

Hello,

I have been making a mod that has many ores, metals, and gems.

Instead of making many classes for each individual gem block to drop that specific gem, is there another way that is in forge to have one class file for a block that drops a specific gem according to the block that is broken(if possible using the UnlocaizedName), or would i have to make a class for each block and tell it to drop a specific item.

If it is possible, please give example code or explain semi-thoroughly.

 

 

Thanks in Advance

PS:Sorry for the inconvenience of the example and explanation. I am very new to making mods and i would appreciate the explanation.

You can drop items according to metadata.

Metadata range for Block is 0-15.

I'm not using meta data due it's limitations, is there another way.

If you don't have subtypes, you'll have to make one class per block.
